    this may be a bit off topic, but definitely worth knowing
    about as no-ones attempted this sort of tour before where
    people in each location can become part of the show in
    an attempt to rebuild some joy with music in areas hit by war & strife
    advance apologies if it hits a wrong note...

    Pirate TV 'Can DU' Tour of Hungary, former Yugoslavia and Italy

    The Future Trust tour of 2001 began on the 10th of August in
    Ljubljanc the Capital of Slovenia & travels through many countries
    of former Yugoslavia, visting Dubrovnik, Mostar and Sarajevo to join
    a major concert in Belgrade at the 25,000 capacity Celtic fortress of
    Kalemegdan astride the Rivers Danube and Sava.

    This is the largest-ever intervention of international musicians
    passing through a post-war zone with the intention of allowing music
    to act as a catalyst for reconciliation & the return of the pleasure
    principle on a massive scale. At the same time the tour will draw
    attention to Future Trust 'Can DU' campaign to seek the abolition on
    the uses of depleted uranium in war zones.

    The Belgrade concert, in association with Radio B92, will include
    artists from throughout former Yugoslavia joining with artists from
    across the world.

    The heart of the Pirate TV tour is an interactive multimedia circus
    incorporating the audio and visual talents of the piratetv.net crew.
    The tour is not only DJ-based in format -- it will also incorporate
    live performances and loadsa VJamming. Arriving in town a day or two
    before each public performance the crew will film their workshops and
    collaborations with local youth which will then appear within hours
    on the six stage screens timed to the music. Future Trust's film
    on depleted uranium campaign will also be VJAMMed.

    The tour crew will drop in at local radio stations to play
    exclusive DJ sets. Matt Black (Coldcut) will be among the
    piratetv.net crew.
